Yes. You were right from the beginning. What I first thought you ment by
absolute paths was including the domain name which would just have been a
mess. When I realized that you can use / to refer a path from the root dir
and tired it did not work. It didn't work not because of that but because I
didn't change all the links to be absolute but only some... but I didn't
realize it. So I thought it must have been something else.
The good thing is, is now its working and now I know so next time I
shouldn't have this problem ;)

Jon
